春季写作研究员总结-艾琳·帕普利斯,艾伦K. Smith Center for Writing and Rhetoric

2021年春季写作研究员的目标是专注于构思和构建研究员2021年秋季的第一年研讨会教学大纲. 他们首先讨论并重新思考各自的研讨会目标, 探索和讨论如何突出“学术思维习惯”教学作为课程的一个组成部分. 然后他们讨论了如何通过非正式写作来鼓励学生更深入地阅读. Patrick Sullivan’s essay, “Deep Reading as Threshold Concept,” helped to foster that discussion, 研究员们参与了写作练习,旨在澄清阅读,并与学生读者一起示范工作. After more discussions about formal and informal writing assignments, and how to scaffold academic writing, fellows began to craft or re-craft their First Year Seminar syllabi, rethinking and developing ideas in consultation with the group. 他们完成了正在进行的清晰的草稿,他们将在进入秋季学期时继续工作.

Tanetta Andersson, Senior Lecturer in Sociology

“My course, Lights, Camera, Society! Sociology Through Film, is the Sociology Department’s offering in the first-year seminar program, which I plan to teach again in Fall 2021. In truth, 我申请了2021年的写作研究员项目,因为我一直遇到内容和写作不平衡的问题. To that end, 在我们的会议中,我通过战略性地减少内容,为阅读和旨在加强学生书面作业的活动留出空间,专注于“少即是多”的理念. 个人和社会系统之间的动态关系仍然是这门课的核心内容, 在整个学期中,向学生灌输“人和社会制度缺一不可”的双重教训, yet neither can be reduced to the other” (Johnson 2014). As a result of the Writing Fellows workshops, I now emphasize analytical writing over persuasive or descriptive genres, although students will employ the latter to a lesser to degree. 分析性写作使学生的写作工作超越了个人层面上的“报告”或“总结”材料或“反应”阅读. 它也是一种动态关系,不仅是一种心态,也是一种思维行为(Rosenwasser 2019)。. Most of all, 它与读者合作,注重细节,目的是理解而不是判断(在社会学入门课程中很有帮助,因为学生也经常面临一个遗忘的过程)。. 像“你注意到什么,觉得有趣,有启发或奇怪??” kickstart analysis. 思维的其他动作包括通过摆出“那又怎样”的姿势,将观察演变成暗示? questions, for example. 帮助学生将他们的想法从思想框架转化为文字,再转化为文字, 我计划整合几个写作练习,以解决:分析性阅读, reasoning from evidence to claims, 识别和修复来自文本《信誉最好的网投十大平台》(Rosenwasser 2019)的薄弱论文陈述,该书现已出版第八版.”

Juliet Nebolon, Assistant Professor of American Studies

“This FYSM Writing Fellows Workshop was extremely helpful for me, as someone who is teaching a FYSM for the first time. 我不仅花了一整个学期的时间来制定一个全新的教学大纲(如下所示), 但每次会议我都从艾琳和其他与会者的经验中受益, almost all of whom had taught a FYSM before. Each month, I learned more about how to foster critical thinking, writing, 以公平和建设性的方式与一年级学生进行讨论. Each time we met, 我为我的课带来了新的想法,这帮助我在学期一开始就开始制定我的教学大纲. Particularly, in our last two sessions when I shared drafts of my syllabus, 我得到了关于如何调整课堂练习和论文作业的实际建议. 我还收到了一些重要的建议,告诉我如何减少课程中的一些内容,以便在课堂上留出写作时间, revision, and registration help. 现在学习这些东西会产生巨大的影响, before the semester begins.”

Diana Paulin, Associate Professor of English and American Studies

“For me, 花点时间听听老师们在第一年的研讨会教学中有什么其他的策略和顾虑是很有价值的. 研讨会的总体目标是什么?你如何有效和富有成效地实现这些目标? Each person, regardless of the number of years she has been teaching, offered a new or unique perspective, resource, or assignment that I had not considered. 我认为最重要的考虑是留出时间去了解学生,专注于你想要达到的具体目标,而不是让他们负担过重. 我还学会了将低风险写作和修改纳入课程以及准备课堂讨论和写作的新方法. 被要求阐明你对课程的看法是一个有用的练习. Additionally, 我喜欢看到别人如何根据反馈进行修改,我们都带着一个具体的计划离开,即使它仍然需要修改.”

Mary Sandoval, Associate Professor of Mathematics

“也许我已经决定把每天的免费写作练习纳入我的研讨会
有了额外的课堂写作作业,学生就可以开始反思
各种各样的课堂活动,这些活动是我在之前的课程中开发的. I
你还会利用这些免费的文章让学生们反思阅读和讨论吗
这样他们就能对阅读材料的内容有一个共同的理解,而不是
to their reactions to it. I have also revisited my old syllabus and pulled out some of the
various class activities (see below). I will ask my students to reflect on these activities to
建立低风险的写作练习,可以作为建立和发展的基础
更广泛的论文,可以发展成主题为较长的分析论文或
short essays. 我希望用这些作为一些练习的素材来演示如何
edit/revise/develop into short essay reflections.
I still have some work to do in terms of sequencing the activities. This will be easier once the

selection will take place. A tentative calendar is attached.
我还计划提出一个简单的标准,我可以把它放在教学大纲中作为指导
my student with their reflection. Does it address the prompt? Does it contain at least one
idea with some depth of reflection? Etcetera.”

Lynn Sullivan, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts

“创造了一个很棒的空间来讨论教学写作、教学和一年级学生的想法

Interarts Gateway是所有艺术(视觉、舞蹈、戏剧、音乐、艺术)的一个非常广泛的介绍。

课程作为各种艺术方法的介绍(这是我如何视觉艺术

对于我的教学大纲,我觉得我能够简化我的教学大纲计划,并允许写作
shape the arc of the semester. While the focus of Interarts is the arts, I am shaping each week
在不同的方式,写作可以作为一种工具,帮助学生参与艺术和我们的
lives. Key takeaways for me:

A)在课堂上创造写作空间,共同构建讨论艺术的语言
b) iterative development of writing/projects that includes feedback
C)鼓励复习过程是关于寻找你没有发现的东西
know and discovery of a subject as much as “perfect writing”
d) incorporation of library research early in semester
e) saving room for discussion and practical elements of advising.”

Writing Fellows AY2019-2020

Stefanie Chambers, Professor of Political Science

“Outside of your department, you have this new group of people who you can share ideas with, connect with in new ways, and who knows what this will bring for me in the future?”

“这是一个很好的机会,让人们诚实地给你自己的教学反馈, and your own ideas, and your own projects, 而且还可以与那些你通常没有机会花时间与之相处并向其学习的人建立联系。”

Molly Helt, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience

“Even though we have time with our colleagues, 我们真的有多少时间去深入研究我们是否应该把一项任务分成三到四个部分的细节,或者我们的反馈是否足够好地混合了积极和消极的评论?”

“我们周围的同事都很聪明,往往比我们更专业, and we shouldn’t be in isolation trying to reinvent the wheel. 我们应该尽可能集中我们的集体智慧和创造力。”

“我们在教学方面分享的想法和专业知识越多,我们就越能真正提升彼此。”

Martha Risser, Associate Professor of Classical Studies

“I think my biggest takeaway is that, no matter how old or experienced you think you are, you can always learn from your colleagues”

“向别人学习,向校园里不同学科的人学习,真是太好了. It was very energizing, and I learned so much”

Jo-Ann Jee, Visiting Lecturer of Chemistry

Additional Faculty Testimonials and Comments:

“我认为这种元认知实验在你自己的教学中总是会让你成为一个更好的老师. It socializes a knowledge base among the faculty. I think it’s a great way to build comradery. 我认为这是一个很好的暂停时刻,想想你是如何组织你的作业,并将写作融入课堂的.”

“You teach for a decade and you have these habits, you have these materials and assume things about them. 然后当你必须向人们解释它们或者你提出关于它们的严肃问题时, it really does give you a chance to revise, not just revise in the sense of going back and changing, but to really see it a new, to see what you’ve been doing for a while. The comradery is great, 而且能够退后一步,以新的眼光看待我十年来一直在做的事情,这真是太棒了.”

“It was such a fun learning experience and I learned so much from them. Everyone came from a different discipline, so everyone came with different perspectives and different experiences. 我真的从小组中得到了一些宝贵的建议,如果我有机会的话,我很乐意再做一次。”

“I could learn from my peers in my own department, and that would be very, very specific to our courses. 至少在科学上,我们有一种特定的方式来教授我们的材料和处理数据. 这就是为什么我有机会看到其他人是如何在不同的学科中做到这一点的,我认为这很有趣. That’s thinking outside of the box, 如果没有他们的反馈和想法,我自己是不会想出这些点子的.”
